    I met him in 1999 at an autograph signing at a record store. Knowing how bored and overall grouchy he had become in WCW, his demeanor that day isn't all that surprising. I talked to him for about 5 minutes, and he did well enough to engage but I could kind of tell he wanted to be anywhere else than a place that was blasting loud rock music, and being asked questions of varying interest by marks.

    Funny, but also managed to keep his heat too.

    He was so good, he even had a little jive

    According to Jim Ross' Twitter, he passed away today. I'd have no reason to believe Ross would report something like this erroneously.

    I'd like to think that if Warrior stuck around, he would have taken the role that Sid did in this angle. Basically, have Warrior and Savage do the angle they did a year later with the Ultimate Maniacs. You could have some good segments with the two of them, still holding some anger towards each other but it dissipates as they have common enemies now. I'd not be surprised if that was the original direction the angle would have taken. If you hear Savage during the segment where Warrior is locked in the casket, it's some compelling stuff that could have worked towards that. But like a turd in a punchbowl Warrior took his ball and went home. We still got a pretty intense program out of this anyway.

    Did he ever explain as to why he never got a job with WWE in 2001? At the time dirtsheets said he was in negociations but he kept calling the office for a answer and in the end they decided not to give him a job. Haven't seen it but I would guess that he didn't leave enough of a good taste in Vince's mouth from his previous run to hire him.

    I don't mind them going up. It would connect a lot of dots in terms of getting the full range of each company during the years those shows were on. It's also why I want to see more Prime Time, and eventually Superstars/Challenge go up too.

    Since someone mentioned a possible Bundy babyface run I was reminded of this, which I first heard about on WWE's Jake Roberts DVD. He talks about this briefly in one of the deleted scenes, in reference to the Legion Of Doom faction that was around for a little bit in 83-84.

    Are there any gaps in World Class stuff at the moment? New stuff from that era seems to have dried up lately.

    I'm used to waiting a year on stuff but Netflix has been dragging a bit behind which is worrisome. House of Cards usually loads up in February/March but this year it didn't come until the last day of May. (I noticed this with Homeland too, but I think it was made clear it would happen in those cases, because the election had caused such a stir in the waters that they needed the extra time to integrate elements of it into their shows as much as possible) Worst of all is BoJack Horseman's new season will come next month, after dropping in July next year. I have a picky sense of humor and need desperately something to laugh at.

    I watched this last week and was surprised at how good Dusty was on commentary, deferring to Tenay's expertise on the cruiserweights when necessary but still throwing his own 2 cents in as well at times. The series of matches these two had were some of the highlights of this time in wrestling. Not having been exposed to such a high-risk style before, what those two did kind of blew my mind.

    Flair had one match prior in MSG, 15 years before against Pete Sanchez.

    Tony's looking well for someone who would be easy to cop to being old and fat.

    But you can get the real scoop on the WCW hotline.

    There was a show on Cinemax last year, Quarry, that had a 2nd episode entitled "Figure Four". The show is set in Memphis in 1972, and the pivotal scene of the episode takes place during a wrestling card.

    Wasn't he talking about working a match with Buddy Landell in the early 90's?

    Meltzer said he's out of surgery but by no means out of the woods. I remember something he said in a shoot interview, basically about how he couldn't see living if he were paralyzed, and that his father (a doctor) told him that the will to live is stronger than you know.

    He was hospitalized a few days ago. The first word out was that it's nothing serious but last night on Twitter, the director of the doc and his agent asked for prayers and positive vibes.

    The Supercard show with King Kong Bundy is great. He's a very perceptive, funny guy.

    I once read that Dream Theater, Chris Jericho's favorite band, was almost going to do a song for him. Jericho met guitarist John Petrucci backstage somewhere, and they chatted up the idea almost to the point of a song being born but it never happened. I like them (at least their old stuff anyway) a lot so that would have been cool. I saw on reddit a few days ago that X-Pac was asked by Shane if they could use a song the Red Hot Chili Peppers offered up, and he turned it down instead requesting something by Uncle Kracker.
